Rev Robt. II. Williams, pastor, preach
ed yesterday morning and evening to falr
congregations In the morning he preach
ed from the First Episile of John. 1.9:"l
we confess our sins, he is faithful and
Just to forgive US our sins and 10 cleanse
us from all unrighteousness.
The preacher then said. We know that
sin exists. Persons who have not the
written revelation feel that there is some
thing wrong at heart in the human FAM
ly. Go where you will among the heather
nations aud you will find the people &C
knowledging this truth. If we take the
/ Bible as our guide we find there very
plainly written that man has sinned, and
that the whole race is under condemna
ton Paul says: "The sting OF death IS
sin" and the only Precipitation for SIN Is
the Lord Jesus Christ Now this sin
makes US guilty and this guilt deserves
the wrath Of God. True repentance alone
can save us from this condemnation OF
sin.

TO Rome with terms Of peace. The Ro-
man Senate refused the terms lie was
urged not to return to Carthage. lie
said, Il promised to return, and must
keep my word.
Behold. here my friend. the old Ro
man faithfulness to his word Now If
man can be 50 faithful in his promises
why not God +? God has said that be will
pardon those who come confessing their
sins. Have we any reason to doubt this
word?

The Rev. S. Shannon preached last
night on the subject to young men-being
a continuation of his subject Of the Sun
day night previous His text was from
| Proverbs /, TO- my son, If sinners entice'
you consent thou not, from which he
drew an analogy between the evil disposed
young man and the more christian in
| clined He said there was no resolution
young man could form so dignified as that
little word no" 1t will be more use To
you than being able to read Latin, Greek,
or Hebrew; and stand by it when you say
il. If | might give counsel to my young
hearers, / would say to frequent the com
pany of your betters in books, in lives =
